Document Storage Systems, Inc. (DSS, Inc.), a leading provider of health information technology (HIT) solutions for federal, private and public healthcare organizations, today announced it has been awarded the Dialysis Electronic Medical Record Software and Maintenance Electronic Health Record (EHR) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).

As part of the contract, the DSS team will implement the cyberREN Renal Patient Care Management System, a comprehensive EMR and clinical data analysis and reporting system for Nephrology. This mature dialysis EMR has been installed in the commercial market since 1996, and is currently being deployed within the VHA at thirteen facilities.

“This new integration will help the VHA leverage a uniform mechanism to capture and report dialysis data – ultimately providing the best possible renal care for Veterans," said Mark Byers, president and CEO of DSS, Inc. “VA dialysis facilities will now have access to the necessary software for electronic reporting to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) mandated web-based dialysis quality collection system."

The cyberREN Renal Patient Care Management System, developed by Cybernius Medical Ltd. (CML), a DSS teaming partner on this contract, will be integrated with VistA using the DSS integration toolkit and overall Integration Framework. With two major modules for Hemodialysis and Chronic Kidney Disease -- and other modules available -- the solution will enable providers to deliver the best possible renal care for Veterans.
